Cleopatra wasn’t black. Time to end that stupid myth.

The only black Cleopatra had the surname Jones. She was a hottie too.

Who cares what members of the African Community think?

"I firmly believe this role should have gone to a black woman.' "

Cleopatra was Greek, hammerhead.

[LadyDoc]

Cleopatra was Greek: the Ptolomy dynasty was descended from one of Alexander the great’s generals.

Here’s the ‘mentality’:

Pure absolute racism. Her skin isnt the right color for the part. Outrageous.

Cleopatra VII of Egypt, Mark Antony's lover. A 1st century BC statue.

This is who should play Cleopatra...

Sadly, kids are shocked today when you tell them she was Greek-the direct descendant of one of Alexander’s generals. They don’t believe me. Then they look it up and realize the old guy isn’t so crazy. I can literally sense their little pea brains churning-”If he was right about that, maybe he was right about Obama...naaahhh, couldn’t be.”

Egyptians weren’t black. They’re like Arabs.

Hmm...there are a lot of talented black actresses out there, but I don't think any of them can pull off the personality of Cleopatra as well as Angelina Jolie can...Jolie just has that something. That Cleopatra-esque "essence" if you will. It also helps that she has that global-minded leadership quality in real life.

If the story is true, I think it's a great casting choice. I think the role would come naturally to her.

[Inyo-Mono]

She also has 3 other children with partner, Brad Pitt. Maddox, 8, Pax, 6, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 2.

Isn't that four or do twins count as one?

I believe that in the upcoming "Thor" movie, one of the Nordic gods will be played by a black man. Fine. Now, a historical European figure is played by a white woman, and the blacks are up in arms.

Their ignorance and fake outrage makes me smile.

[moehoward]

This is an outrage /s

[darkwing104]

I guess these idiots never studied History...Cleopatra was of Macedonian descent. She was descended from Ptolemy I, A general who served under Alexander the Great. He appointed himself a King after the death of Alexander.

What else would you expect from self-absorbed racist Morons...

[6SJ7]

Coins of Antony and Cleopatra (in that order, 'cause it's kind of hard to tell)

[RightOnline]

Racist....and uneducated, ignorant....bastards. Who cares.
